What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
The ability to penetrate riot shields with higher caliber/energy weapons (e.g Freedom SR, high caliber snipers)
Upon penetrating, damage is reduced due to the bullet being caught by the shield.
You should not be able to instantly shoot through the shield, but there should be a penetration multiplier on the bullet caliber you use.
Sort of like in Tarkov, where no matter what bullet you use there is a random chance for you to not be able to penetrate through their armor.
But I feel like all energy weapons should be able to penetrate all the time or have a much higher pen mult.
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
No.
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- A more fair balanced PvP experience (people can't just bodyblock/rush you with an inpenetrable riot shield)
- More enjoyable and alluring PvP
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
None that I can think of, this seems like it has no negatives. Although I can be wrong.
If anyone can think of any I would appreciate it to get more of an overlook on this.
Based on the Positives; Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
I have not been playing on the server for a long time, but I can say for everyone no-one likes to deal with riot shields.
Especially ones that you can't at least be able to shoot through with a powerful weapon.
What Tarkov did with things like this was good.
In Tarkov, you are able to use a face shield on your helmet, low calibers aren't able to shoot through but have a chance to, but high calibers will always kill you.
This would certainly enhance everybody's experience when PvPing.
